    But they actually took some of the risk trying to develop models for Apple Intelligence, and that attempt ended up as a meme. Do you really believe that was a strategic play?

    Apple failed in their efforts to build their own models, but they got lucky. China is doing all the R&D for free and the whole thing turned out to be unprofitable anyway.

    For older hardware: Void Linux, Xubuntu or maybe Linux Mint Xfce. If you want something up to date that needs to be online. AntiX and Puppy Linux are a bit too rough, in my opinion…

    Chrome is the new Internet Exploder. Use anything with built-in adblock-rust.

    Ironically, their Ad/Business tools are the worst offenders. I need to use them but I feel like I'm in a perpetual state of fighting their software.

    And the valuation is completely justified in this case.

    I've seen too many of those privacy-respecting alternative social networks. Problem is that you'll post things only for yourself, which may be cool if you don't care about actually…

    I don't think it's only marketing. OpenAI had the advantage of being first to the market, and in the beginning of the race it seemed that the future belongs to them. Then came the …

    I ran this multiple times through GPT-4 and every single time it arrived at the same conclusion. The data was readily available and pretty clear. GPT-5 insisted that the objectivel…

    As an example, 2026 GPT doesn't even agree with its 2025 self. Last year I asked it to make a hardware comparison and it correctly identified the objectively better option. Recentl…

    I think it depends on how you define god. Personally, I believe in pantheism. It's a philosophical stance which equates god to the universe and nature itself. It's hard not to beli…

    The Splinter Cell and Deus Ex series for me. The stealth genre has this unique quality that you can approach the gameplay in different ways - more brute force, more stealth, anythi…

    I don't think they are happy about burning through money, especially if they can just build their data center somewhere else and avoid the 200% tax. The moment of reckoning is happ…

    Please let's not fool ourselves that AI businesses don't care about costs because they have a lot of money. They burn a lot of money, yes, but they are looking for profitability an…

    This method works better in a free market. Instead of outright banning things, you simply build a system that encourages/disencourages specific things and it basically runs on auto…

    Flatpak project maintainers, please do not do that. Leave Flatpak universally accessible. I like my alternative Linux distros without systemd.

    Exactly. I remember the beginnings of ChatGPT, OpenAI looked like the future and Google had Bard, which was not very good. It looked like Google was soon to become irrelevant. Fast…

    Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you like it! Yes, the pre-release is intended for testing purposes, so thanks for bringing the battery health issue to my attention. It is calculat…

    I'm glad you like it! I might consider adding this in a future release, although at this point I'm focusing on keeping the app's footprint minimal, so every feature addition has to…

    I understand your skepticism, but as the original poster and creator of this I am actually a little surprised, too!

    Not really just command line preferences. The app has many more features that use native macOS APIs. But thanks for your comment!
